We are full of sorrow but privileged to have been close to Josh. I will miss him dearly. We will all miss you, Friend!!! He made the seminal #DNAamplification 2013 discovery @CellCellPress in my lab and then pursued it in his own as well. He was a brilliant mind!

It's with a heavy heart that I write to share that Dr. #JoshBlack from @CUAnschutz has passed away. He was an amazing scientist, colleague, & dear friend. I was fortunate to be his mentor & friend. He was family to us. He taught them how to make amazing paper airplanes- Amazing!
